PROTOMAX HIGH PERFORMANCE PERSONAL ABRASIVE

PROTOMAX HIGH PERFORMANCE PERSONAL ABRASIVE

Compact design with an industrial heritage!

Packs a punch

Advanced software algorithms and 30 ksi pump pressure drive the fastest and most efficient cutting for its size. Cuts virtually any material up to 1 inch thick. Ideal for light commercial applications and educational institutions where cutting time matters.

Designed to fit into your space

The ProtoMAX unit integrates the cutting components and pump into a compact footprint making it ideal for small or space-constrained machine shops, maker spaces and classroom style workshops. Casters allow for easy movement.

Start cutting parts right away

Our powerful software makes converting drawings to cutting paths easy. Setting the machine up to cut and securing your material in place is quick and simple.

Easy to install

Casters allow ProtoMAX to be moved into place easily and the unit can be plugged into a standard 240VAC outlet. We've streamlined the ProtoMAX to minimize assembly steps and time and our online help videos walk you through the whole process.

Powerful functionality built right in!

Create your own drawings from scratch

Our Intelli-MAX software was designed exclusively for waterjet and includes features you would expect from most CAD packages. It also features waterjet-specific tools, like cut quality and lead-in/lead-out, which help create the right part the first time.

Easily use drawings from other CAD programs

No need for additional 3rd party software when using other CAD systems or drawings. Intelli-MAX LAYOUT supports files from other CAD programs including .dxf, .dwg, .ord, .ai, .pdf, and .svg formats. Importing into LAYOUT is one easy step.

No CAD drawing, no problem

Intelli-TRACE allows you to take an image from a camera, the web, or just about anywhere else and convert it to a vector drawing. Built-in tools help you get your drawing ready to cut. Go from picture to part without additional software.
